L.A. Song

Courtesy of our friends over at MeFi comes this great Ask Metafilter thread from someone seeking to make a mix tape for a friend moving to L.A. When asked what their favorite songs about L.A. were, the MeFi folks responded with some great ones: “Los Angeles, I’m Yours” by the Decembrists, “Screenwriter’s Blues” by Soul Coughing, “L.A. is my Lady” by the inimitable Frank Sinatra, and “Hollywood Babylon” by the Misfits, to name a few. There are a ton of good L.A.-related songs recommended in the thread, but I want to know: what are some of your favorites?
